I learned wood carving from a Master Carver while I was living in China. Unfortunately when I came back, "life" and the need to earn a steady income took over and I put my tools away for many years. It was about two years ago when I unpacked the boxes containing all my tools.
That was like a kid in a toy store day for me! What memories! I spent the next few days cleaning and sharpening my tools, then grabbed anything and every I can get ahold of and started carving. I am thrilled that what I learned years ago came right back.
Since that day, I've added many new equipment and taken over our 2-car garage completely, to my wife's chagrin. We do have a plan to build a shop in the back acre as she really wants her garage back.
Now that I am retarded, I mean retired, I am glad I have a new purpose in my life - a reason to get dressed in the morning and get to work because I want to! LOL!
I am now having more fun working with wood than I've had in a long time!

Welcome to Lumberjocks. The projects are an inspiration, the information is priceless and the people are supportive. The only problem is, the site can get addictive.

God Bless

Nice work. How long were you in China? I have been in Taiwan for most of the past 22 years.

I was there for 6 years and my first two kids were born there. Are you in Taiwan now? Would you agree that China (including Taiwan) and Japan are the two countries where one can learn the art of woodworking? I started with preparing and carving on bamboo which is one of the hardest materials to carve and with definite strong grains!
